Berashith; Or, The First Book Of Moses, Call'D Genesis, Translated by John Lookup, is an 18th-century English rendering of the Genesis text, presented as a translation from the original Hebrew with an emphasis on recovering the literal sense by minimizing vowel points and accents. The work recounts the creation, the Fall, the Flood, and the genealogies and patriarchal narratives, tracing Adam and Eve through Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, while detailing the origins of nations and peoples. The translation frequently renders divine names as variations such as “the Gods” or “the Names,” reflecting the translator’s method to balance ancient Hebrew roots with contemporary English diction. This edition offers extended genealogies, covenants, and prophetic blessings within the Genesis story, including episodes involving Abraham’s journey, the near-sacrifice of Isaac, Jacob’s ascent to power in Egypt, and the formation of the twelve tribes.
